Ingredients

1 large head - cauliflower
3 cloves - garlic
3 tablespoons - unsalted butter
4 tablespoons - heavy cream
1 tsp - kosher salt
¼ tsp - black pepper

Instructions

Place the butter and cream on the counter to come to room temperature. Place the cauliflower florets and garlic in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1". Cover and bring to a boil, then remove the lid and decrease the heat to medium. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until very tender.
Drain the cauliflower well in a colander.
